In his annual report the commissioner

lows: The reports from the apiaIists of
the province are extremely contradictory
as to their industry during tho past sea
son. Some correspondents state that the
honey yield has been an unusually large
one, that bees have swarmed well, and are
in fine condition for winter, while others
in the very same township complain that
the very opposite of things prevails.
Taking the province as whole, however,
the favorable reports are in a decided
majority, and the yield of honey may be
described az from fair TO good. The
area of agriculture appears to be extend

some old apiarists have given up the in

GETTING DESPERATE.

Time was when people paid high
price rates to 60 to California. The
golden attractions of 40 drew thousands
of adventurous persons for twenty years
after all the mines had passed to ex-
elusive hands. The state filled up with
a population many of whom soon begun
to know the need of bread but stilI the
tide poured in. In the five years from
1876 to 1881 fully one-third Of the vast
population Of the Pacific coast had de-
parted. Thousands who had some
means upon their arrival we're o poor
and penniless.. Hundreds committed
suicide, the result of melancholy and
stock gambling.
Now the Central Pacific railroad peo-
pie propose to carry emigrants across
the continent free of charge. Califor-
mia must haye population. The poor
people who may be deluded by thi,
offer will reach the golden state" to
lind themselves in direct competition
with the Chinese. No white man can
live upon the days earnings regulated
by the Chinese scale Of labor.
The man who accepts free transpor.
tation to California should first require
the railroad to give him free transpor.
tation out of California.

Methods Of tho "Mospital Beat"

The ''hospital beat is an individual we
have to be on the constant lookout for.
His business is to impose himself on the
hospitals of the different cities, and thus
get boarded and lodged free. The regular
beat has no ailment except chronic lazi-
ness. We had II good case the other day.
A fellow came in all dirty Il mean un-
washed) and said he was suffering from u
fearful pain in the side, which prevented
him from breathing; and, besides, he had
a headache. AS the fellows tramping
had left him looking debilitatcd, and no
examination of him could be made till he
had been washed, he was sent to the City
hospital, on the supposition that he had
pneumonia. When he came to he stripped
for the inevitable bath, Sl87 were found
in his clothes. That ended him, and lie
was fired.
Then there is Il class of those who get
into the hospital really suffering, but do
their utmost to stay there. Take Il man
who goes in because Of an ulcer on his
leg. Under the tonics, good food and clean
beds he improves, the ulcer gets smaller,
and finally closes. Then, if he is worth
less, rs is often the case, he attempts to
prolong his stay in his free quarters. So
lie deliberately tears the ulcer open again.
! h"'c sech SUCH lellOwS Bct SAM ana run
1t over the wound till they had opened it
again. These gcniuses are also promptly
bounced. But the crop is always just
about as large. For three good meals and
n nice place to sleep, all free, some buns
will do anything-almost main them
selves, l believe. The beats are the most
common in the latter part of September,
in October, and in the fore part of Novem.
Der The approaching cold drives them
in, and they then get to seeking shelter
for the winter. -Dispensary Physician in

The Great Opportunity.

population than were a large number of
the states at the time oftheir admission,

ces abundantly sufficient to qualify it
for membership in the Union, paying

Mackinaw Braid Hats.

"New Workers no longer wear Mackinaw
straw hats. 1t is simply because there Is
very little genuine Mackinaw braid used
now by the manufacturers, " said a prom
inent importer of straw braids the other
day to a reporter.
"Thc average buyer does not know the
difference between the genuine and the
Japan Mackinaw, which is u lighter and
much cheaper article" he continued.
''The genuine Mackinaw is a braid made
from wheat straw grown and plated by
the Indians along the Straits Of Mackinaw.
This braid is exceedingly tough and dur
able, having a beautiful gloss not pos
sessed by other braids. When made into
machine sowcd hats 1t often proves to be
too heavy for a ready sale. The hand
sewed goods, however, are much lighter
ond pleasanter to wear, and bring high
prices. They arc manufactured chiefly in
Baltimore, where the majority Of skilled
operators in this line are to be found.
These persons go to Baltimore from their
homes in the New England states in the
fall, when the straw season begins, re-
turning in the summer.
"The Japanese braid Is lighter in tex
ture but rather lusterless, and has forced
the genuine Mackinaw out OF the market.
It is now the most popular braid manu-
featured. New York Sun.
